FIWARE: 31 cities promote open data innovation platform for smart cities services
What is OASC? An EU-funded initiative reuniting 25 cities from 6 EU countries (3 Belgian cities: Brussels Capital Region, Ghent and Antwerp) and 6 cities from Brazil, it supports city councils and startups to improve smart city services (transport, energy efficiency, environmental or e-health services).
Which EU funds? OASC is supported by FIWARE, an EU-funded, open source platform and cloud-based building blocks usable to develop a huge range of applications (Smart Cities, eHealth, transport and disaster management).
With which aims? The objective is to allow the sharing of open data among cities so as to allow startups to develop apps and tools useful for the wellbeing of citizens. FIWARE will also support startups and app developers in these cities to access a global market for smart city services.
